Join me for a bitch fest, it'll make you feel better ;-)

So *everyone* hates their job at least some days right? Well let me tell you that being a parent is a job---whether you stay at home or not. And although on tv parents are portrayed as laying around with smiles and cuddles all day, giving baby massages and whispering sweet nothings into their children's ears, it's  often nothing at all like that in real life.  Because frankly, your  kid probably  won't sit still  for cuddles and massages, and whispering sweet nothings into their ears isn't nearly as nice when they've got  snot  pouring out of their  nose or when they're screaming during the world's most dramatic tantrum :-P And kids are  cute---but  must less  cute when you've had little sleep and your brain can't  even function enough to appreciate the cute things  they do.

But  although I sometimes hate the  job (like yesterday---oh good  lord, I swear yesterday  had at least 40 hours in it), I never  hate my girls! And although I told Lee yesterday  when he got home that  my day was so awful I was even thinking about how I was willing to go to work  as a dish lady in a school cafeteria (and if you know  me and my hatred  of doing dishes then that pretty much  tells you everything you need to know about my day yesterday lol)----every time I  think about going back to work  for real I  realize I  would hate that  10000 times worse than even  the worst day at home.

So  that  leaves me with my current solution---which is to have a little bitch fest, get it out of my system, and then hope that next  week brings  with it healthy kids, nicer weather, more sleep, and a better attitude to remind myself why being a parent is the best  job in the world!

To get us all in the mood for what I have planned next, you should check  out this article I found called 6 things nobody told you about being a SAHM   ...and let's be honest,  many if not all of these could  also be called 6 thigns nobody ever told you about being a PARENT. My favorite part of the  article is the end which says

You need to realize two things about these feelings - they are completely normal and you are not a bad mom for having them. You are human and no human loves their job every single day. There are going to be good days and bad days.

And now for the pick me up for all  you moms who are feeling the same way as me---a little  humor and inspiration, to remind us that our tiny offspring are worth all the headaches lol
